Chapter 839 - Fine, Change It (2/2)
“Are all the servings of rice I have eaten before all fake?” Jiang Meisi questioned the world.
“This looks harder than any mission we have done in the past. The volume of water, the rice washing method, can we really do it?” Li He was more pragmatic and only thought of the mission.
“It was not mentioned in the mission that we have to completely imitate Boss Yuan.” Bai Guo thought of a loophole, “We can choose to not wash the rice this way. We just need to be careful, and do things one step at a time. The difference won’t be that big I presume.”
While Jiang Meisi and Li He were considering the feasibility of this plan, Dean gave a sincere suggestion.
“I think you need to change a mission. Chef Yuan did more than washing rice grains.”
The three immediately turned and gazed at Dean when they heard him speaking. When Dean saw the three pairs of eyes that were filled with a “please educate me” look, he decided to speak forthrightly.
“Let me repeat this. Chef Yuan’s culinary skills are very high. When washing rice grains, his hands did not touch the rice grains. When pouring the water out, he did it cleanly. And when cooking the rice, salt was added. The volume of water he poured and the way in which he did it is something you guys won’t be able to learn in a short time frame,” Dean said. Perhaps because this was his first time seeing such rice washing method, but he was quite long-winded.
“We need salt when cooking rice?” Jiang Meisi asked.
“I think it’s for the sake of the rice’s chewiness.”
“True, I feel like we need to change a mission as well. I will occasionally cook something myself at home, but after seeing how Master Yuan cooks, I feel like let alone cooking by myself, I don’t even feel like order delivery food anymore,” Li He said.
“Let’s change it. Are there simpler missions?” Bai Guo nodded his head repeatedly in agreement.
What joke was this? The smooth sequence of motions Yuan Zhou had demonstrated earlier was something he probably wouldn’t master his entire life. He might be able to leave out some methods when washing rice grains, but he couldn’t leave out everything. Bai Guo was still a person who knew his limit.
After a discussion, they decided to let Jiang Meisi, the beauty, to ask the fans around them. The fan she decided to ask was a girl.
When the girl saw her idol talking to her, she grew excited as she kept shouting, “Si Si, my boyfriend loves you! He always says that you have big breasts and long legs! I love you as well! Can you give me two autographs?” Um, nothing weird about that. This was a standard perfect girlfriend of China, one that would ask for autographs on her boyfriend’s behalf.
Jiang Meisi complied. After she signed the autographs, she asked for the simplest dish at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
“Hmm, although I don’t know, I know of a person who knows the answer,” she answered. Despite not knowing the answer, she was still extremely energetic as she had gotten her idol’s autograph.
“Who?” asked all three of them.
“There, the guy called Master Cheng. He is here to learn cooking and has been here for about half a year. I think he can definitely answer your question. The only thing we know is to eat so it will be hard for us to answer it,” the fan said as she scratched her head bashfully.
“Don’t worry. Thank you. That is a great help,” Jiang Meisi comforted the fan.
“Heh heh, it’s good that I can be of help,” the fan said repeatedly. When she stared at her autographs again, she smiled cheerfully. At times, celebrities had it easy when their fans only required simple things.
After placating the fan, they prepared to ask Master Cheng. As Master Cheng wasn’t too far away, they first observed him from a distance as they eyed each other, deciding on who should go or if all of them should go.
But after they got near Master Cheng and studied him, Bai Guo suddenly noticed something.
